Journey out

Beginning of trip to Chile in June 2006.  Cape Town Q Johannesburg Q Sao Paulo Q Santiago (in total 33 hours).  Was most irritated when we left Johannesburg International Airport:  that the customs official could not find the numbers on the computer keyboard number pad; only half the stations were open; the total chaos found at our "Gateway to Africa" airport.  Our flight from Sao Paulo was delayed by 3 hours because of Varig's pending bankruptcy so we only arrived in Santiago at 04h00 instead of 00h05.  Patti and Neil kindly waited and waited for our arrival.


Starting our epic 33 hour journey! - Cape Town airport 18 June 2006 early before catching the South African Airways flight SA302 to Johannesburg. Harvey getting zipped up. Dawn over Africa - A splendid early morning view on our way to Johannesburg.

 

Sailing above the clouds - Wonderful clouds over somewhere in South Africa in the early morning as we left.
Salt pans in Botswana - One of the wonders of nature, salt pans in the middle of the Kalahari. Coastline of Namibia - First view of the Atlantic Ocean - Excitement! Goodbye Africa - Coastline of Namibia. Hello Atlantic. Another view.
